Appreciate the grounded tone here—less “beach-and-laptop fantasy,” more “how does this actually work in real life?”

I’ve been writing survival-style guides for Americans planning moves to Italy and Mexico, and what stands out in Poland’s case is that it doesn’t try too hard. That might be its biggest strength.

It’ll be interesting to see how this develops alongside the quieter rise of places like Croatia and Greece—not as retreats, but as functional, affordable restart zones.

If anyone’s comparing options or trying to plan a realistic exit, I’ve built a free toolkit that maps out the questions most people forget to ask. Happy to share.
